Why would anyone with any brains buy one of these? I own all types of canon gear and I see absolutely no reason to buy this.

I seems to me that Canon is being out marketed, out product management, and all the rest by its competition (Sony, Nikon, and some of the 4/3ers.)

Canon needs to hire some young turks like Nikon did and get rid of the old management.

If they don't start showing some marketing leading cameras, bye, bye canon and it will cost me dearly to do so. I will give them maybe 6-12 months to refind their way. Right now they are dangerously lost.
